hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. british mps have backed a measure designed to prevent the next prime minister from suspending parliament in order force a no deal brexit. on the same day, the uk's tax and spending watchdog warns the government would need to borrow an extra 37 billion dollars a year if the uk left without a deal. at president trump's rally in north carolina last night, this was the chant aimed at the somali born us congresswoman ilhan omar. send her back to! send her back! he stood back and let the chanting continue today he's trying to distance himself from it.

i was not happy with it. i disagree with it. the american financier jeffrey epstein will have to stay in jail while awaiting trial on charges of trafficking dozens of underage girls for sex more than a decade ago. and instagram is stopping users in some counries from seeing how many likes other people's posts received it says it's to "remove pressure" on users. a lot to get through on brexit and british politics. first, parliament has voted for an amendment intended to block the house of commons being suspended in order to force through a no—deal brexit. bbc‘s political editor laura kuennsbuerg, "amendment passed comfortably... 315 to 274 commons just made it harder, altho not impossible for hypothetical borisjohnson pm

to suspend parliament." remember boris johnson is the favourite to win the conservative leadership contest next week and so become prime minister. he insists the uk must leave the eu on 31 october whether there is a deal or not. he also has repeatedly refused to rule out suspending parliament if it's need to make a no—deal brexit happen. bear in mind there's no evidence that a majority of mps will support no deal. well the digital minister margot james resigned after rebelling against the government and voting for the amendment. she told newsnight‘s nicholas watt borisjohnson‘s refusal to rule out suspending parliament was a key factor in persuading her to rebel‘. she wasn't alone. in all, 17 tory mps rebelled, and four cabinet ministers abstained.

this is important moment but get ready for a lot of these twists and turns between now and october 31. before all of that, next week we get a new prime minister. jeremy hunt and borisjohnson had one last chance to impress conservative members. here they are speaking on brexit. the hour is darkest upon the dawn. and we are going to turn this thing around and we are going to come back and win. i tell you what we are going to do. we are going to do several things, first and most important we need to get brexit done. by october 31. no matter the obstacles parliament may put in our

way, the hurdles our eu colleagues may throw in front of us. this is a country where people like me do what people like you, the people, tell us to do because democracy is in our dna and you cannot put a price on it. interesting hearing jeremy hunt identify them as the two institutions standing in the way at hand and brexit. neither man is ruling out a no—deal brexit. today the uk's office for budget responsibility estimated how that option will affect the uk economy. this is a projection of uk borrowing with and without a deal. yellow is no deal borrowng is projected to go above £60 billion in the first year that's around $75 billion dollars. that's because it believes the uk economy will shrink by 2% in the first year

of a no deal brexit. bear in mind, the bank of england has already said the economy could fall by as much as 8% because of a no deal. both projections say a no—deal brexit would push the uk economy into recession and the pound would fall sharply. despite all this, both candidates to be the new prime minister say being open to a no—deal brexit is a necessary part of negotiating with the eu. well the bbc‘s panorama programme has been speaking to the eu's chief brexit negotiator. this is what he told us. to be clear, i think the uk side, which is well informed, and competent, and know the way we work in the eu side, notice from the very beginning that we never have been

impressed by certain threats, they are not useful to use it. the full edition of panorama airs today. in it, a vice president of the european commission claims the uk had no plan for brexit after the referendum in 2016. here's a clip. the first time i saw public uttera nces the first time i saw public utterances by david davidson, i saw i had not calming, not negotiating, grandstanding elsewhere. oh, my god i realise they don't have a plan, they haven't got a plan and that was shocking frankly because then that damage if he did not had a plan, we see it. we see time is running out and you do not have a plan, it is like lance corporaljones, don't panic and running around like idiots. the brexit deal that theresa may agreed with the eu didn't get through parliament despite several attempts. jeremy hunt and borisjohnson both say it is now finished in its current form despite mr hunt

voting for it every time and mrjohnson voting for it once. now they say they want it changed although the eu is ruling out renegotiating it. and the positions of both men have been hardening during theirr contest. this isjeremy hunt on the bbc‘s today programme earlier. if we had a note the opec said, they seem to think at the moment we would come on our seem to think at the moment we would come on oui’ knees, seem to think at the moment we would come on our knees, rushing for a deal because of the economic facts of life. —— no—deal brexit. actually price it would be political. we would have european neighbour is that i deliberately chosen to make the uk poor, and that would change and harden british attitudes to europe and i don't think that something wise and what we want. the implication is that it would be the eu's decision for the uk to leave without a deal. to which critics points out it is the uk's decision to leave.

and the uk's decision not to rule out a no—deal brexit. our next piece of rhetoric comes from borisjohnson at the final hustings yesterday in which makes a claim about a kipper which isn't true. i want you to consider this. this caper. this caper presented to me by thatis caper. this caper presented to me by that is a national newspaper, here received it from a skipper smoker on the isle of man who is utterly furious because after decades of sending bees through the post, he has had his cost massively increased by brussels bureaucrats who have insisted that each one must be accompanied by this, a plastic ice

pillow. pointless, pointless expensive and environmentally damaging health and safety. he makes strong points but it's not true, valid check look at it everything you talking about is set by uk regulation, eu regulations come from —— fish not smoke fish, so now you know. how much could a story like that based on things that are not true matter in the context of uk politics but is not here is rob watson. i guess to those think he'll make a poor prime minister because of a long history of untruthfulness and untrustworthiness, both as a generalist and then politician, i mean, this will confirm all the way cs but the kind of people that like in black nearing the old fax goes astray here and there, i suspect it

will change their minds and back that's one of the great features of the whole brexit debate in this country, the kind of people supporting brexit tend to discount warnings about it, from economists and broadcasters and i sort of thing, and when anyone like boris johnson is found to extract the truth in way, they to discount it. and that something quite unexpected happens, he will be the next prime minister, heidi gauge impact on this amendment that's gone through today on what he can and cannot do if he gets to downing street?” on what he can and cannot do if he gets to downing street? i think it's a reminder of what an uphill struggle of the incoming prime minister will face that it's boris johnson. it's not the case that somehow rules out a no deal altogether, i don't think that's a significance but i think significance but i think significance is twofold. first this amendment shows the strength of feeling amongst parliamentarians of all parties, against the idea that no—deal brexit, but very importantly, it's a reminder that

the astonishing divisions and a governing conservative party, which had bedeviled the government since the whole brexit process three years ago and in the same way to reason they face problems of what might be called high brexit wing of the conservative party, i think this rebellion suggests that prime ministerjonathan would face a hard time and does it take no deal exit is simply economic madness. sit -- speaking of lack of unity among conservatives, we had ministers going their own way i am not going without government would like them to go, do you think that's the last days at a prime minister where we should not make too much of it or should not make too much of it or should be make a sign of who is going up as number ten? is a very good question, in fact i go further than that, i think it's a key question, in british politics, why didi question, in british politics, why did i not because like i said i could not because let us assume that prime minister is serious about leaving bea. without a deal on october 31. if it doesn't offer him

a better deal which seems unlikely they will, it seems to need that creek —— question will conservative mps see that as a terrible prospect that they would be prepared to go to the lengths needed to stop him. even if necessary, bringing out a conservative government led by boris johnson. i do not know the answer to your question, but i think you really have asked a key question in british politics. thanks to rob. back in 2016 the chant at trump rallies was "lock her up, lock her up" a reference to hillary clinton. yesterday, a new chant emerged and its target was democratic congresswoman ilhan omar. send her back! ilhan omar is one of the four democratic congresswomen of colour that president trump attacked in racist tweets at the weekend. in them, he said they should "go back" to where they came

from despite three being born in america, and the fourth having arrived as a refugee aged eight. last night, the president just returned to the white house, what a cloud and great people he said. and then a different tone earlier today. idid not like i did not like that they did it and i started speaking quickly i could have stood back, excuse me, i really? if you would have heard, there was tremendous amount of noise and action and everything else, i started very quickly and i think you know that. president saying i could've stood back suggesting he didn't. but let's look at the clip again. send her back! pausing and letting it play out and

they had been defending them. republicans have defended the president. house minority leader kevin mccarthy told abc news "the president did notjoin in... the president moved on." you saw the video. he didn't move on. he paused for the chants to continue and then moved on. washington post reporter rachael bade says "trump's move to distance himself from the "send her back" chant came after house gop leaders asked mike pence to convey to trump their discomfort with that kind of rhetoric." here's susan page of usa today speaking to katty kay. the vice president met with republican congressional leaders who largely has stayed silent or supportive of the president and wake of this controversy, which has gone on for a few days now, but they told him they were uncomfortable at that's putting the republican party ina that's putting the republican party in a difficult situation, it's widely seen as a racist chant, long history of the united states are saying go back to where you came from. let's go to anthony zurcher in washington.

striking these republicans are letting it be known, but no one is saying out loud. yeah, you're hearing only very tepid direct criticism, some people has had the chance were disgusting or embarrassing, should not have been done but it's different from saying that donald trump and south instigated and you know you talk about those locker at the chance from the hillary clinton back in 2015, well after this first happened, donald trump said he did not like it at that time and said he thinks it's a shame it happen, see what hearing a similar kind of response to him now, but the big question is what will he do next. response to him now, but the big question is what will he do nextm terms of how it plays into election campaigni terms of how it plays into election campaign i know it's a year away but it's still relevant. i guess the rallies and experience the rallies became more seem to rallies and experience the rallies became more seem to have become central to his success. it is his way of measuring the temperature at

his base of support and i think what this very clear at this point going forward , this very clear at this point going forward, is that his election strategy is to try to energise his base to get them to turn out. he hasn't and is three years the president tried to broaden his appeal, he has made his pitch narrowly to people who elected him last time around, he will try to do that again but what that means that i think we will see more of this rhetoric directly directed at the type of people who are supporting them to get them to try not to the polls. let's pick up on that point. stay with us anthony i want to show you this: a poll published by usa today found caro 57% of republicans agreed with racist tweets telling the congresswomen to go back to the countries "from which they came". in fact, more than 30% strongly agreed with them. american commentators are wrestling with what's happening. conor friedersdorf writes in the atlantic: "trump intends

to run a re—election campaign that stokes the ugliest impulses of his base." let's go back to anthony. you've been covering this for a while, rife from the beginning and fa ct while, rife from the beginning and fact when he came down the escalator, did you anticipate we would go this far down the track in terms of a seat that he is bringing? you know, it seems like at every turn, there was talk about how donna chung, yes he's been incendiary and unscripted and kind and inflammatory candidate, but now he's going to change course. it was after he won the new hampshire primary he was going to focus on being a traditional candidate after securing the nomination, then after he won the nomination, then after he won the presidency and after he was in the presidency and after he was in the presidency and after he was in the presidency for a while, they have been waiting for a turning point where donald trump is not going to be this kind of a candidate 01’ going to be this kind of a candidate or president, but it has not turned out that way, the one we saw injuly of 2015 coming down that escalator

is the one we have now, he is talking about mexicans being rapists and coming across the border and that's a similar sort of rhetoric we have now. at some point whether i was expecting or anyone expecting some sort of a change, and the way he runs our some sort of a change, and the way he runs oui’ governance some sort of a change, and the way he runs our governance is very clear now, it's not coming. it's who he is. thank you very much, anthony. we are staying in the us because he says american forces shot down an iranian drone that approached american vessels, you will be surprised to know what happened the straight of hormuz where there's been lots tension about the match, early today iran claimed it seized a ship in the same straight, saying it smuggled feel but there is no independent verification that is true, we had the statement from the newsroom from president trump. true, we had the statement from the newsroom from president trumplj wa nt to newsroom from president trumplj want to apprise everyone to have an incident in the straight of harm is today. involving the uss boxer and

navy amphibious, i thought ship. the boxer tip connected action against an iranian drone, which had closed into a very, very near distance approximately 1000 yards. ignoring multiple calls to stand down and less threatening the safety of the ship and the ship's crew. the drone was immediately destroyed. this is the latest of many provocative and hostile actions by iran against vessels operating in international waters. united states reserves the right to defend our personnel, facilities and interests and calls upon all nations to kanban iran's attem pts upon all nations to kanban iran's atte m pts to upon all nations to kanban iran's attempts to disrupt freedom of navigation and global commerce.

donna chum earlier. ask donald trump earlier. stay with that we will talk about microsoft in the latest figures it's publishing and what makes that's what we make of them. the bbc investigation found that primary school pupils are being repeatedly rejected by mental health support. he is our special correspondent, and thomas. freedom of information responses from 46 health tracks across the uk indicate the number of referrals made for child mental health services by primary schools for those under the age of 11 increased 50% the last three years, some peaches say securing support can be a challenge. external resources are reducing rapidly. because of financial constraints. they needed two years, we are still waiting for an

assessment now for a child who is experienced extreme mental health distress. government told us it was determined to improve mental health services. and by 20, 2a, more children and young people have access to specialist care. our lead story. british mps have backed a measure designed to prevent the next prime minister from suspending parliament in order force a no—deal brexit. microsoft's valuation hit a trillion dollars in april we're just getting its latest results and i'm told we should look out for the performance of its cloud computing business. i would need help at that michelle

is live with us in the yard, why are we looking for these speakers and what they look like? so, ijust to go back and explain to people what cloud computing is, the simplest way ican cloud computing is, the simplest way i can put it is, it's the infrastructure of many businesses rely on and if you think back to days that when we had a ruins of sardis for the days that when we had a ruins of sardis forthe air days that when we had a ruins of sardis for the air conditioning blowing, to try and keep them cool, and offices nowadays you can outsource that to companies like microsoft and amazon, to what they call the cloud. and that has been a huge massive growth industry, both for amazon but also microsoft and that's what analysts were expecting it to contribute substantially, to profit and revenue as well and that appears to be the case. if you look at revenue it has raised 12% to 33% for the corded that just at revenue it has raised 12% to 33% for the corded thatjust ended, and that was just to give you and put in context, that was above like the a nalysts context, that was above like the analysts were expecting. the

forecasted something close to $32 billion. all of this, like i say, or much of it thanks to the cloud. maybe i'm showing my age here but i still associate microsoft with software, i'm curious, what degree is software still in its core business are hasn't moved away from there? i'm going to have to go away and read through this report. and the reason i say that is because i have to get a breakdown on the figures. but this is the earnings where potentially we are looking to see the cloud computing side of business overtake the first time of window side, traditionally we thought of microsoft as a software company, perhaps as video gaming as well, it seems the future is in the cloud. thank you very much indeed. she peaches in the next story. straight from analysing probate ——

plant —based alternatives to me. plant based alternatives to meat are growing in popularity and are now being offered by a growing number of burger chains as our new york team have been finding out. here they are trying them out. the mission of the company and the mission of the technologies to appeal to meet years. mission of the technologies to appealto meet years. not mission of the technologies to appeal to meet years. not asjuicy asi appeal to meet years. not asjuicy as i expect. a bit salty i think but maybe that's the thing with fast food. so far, meat eaters have not really resisted the idea of hiding

and could be having significant flooding and wept across the philippines into next week, further heavy thunderstorms developing. and stop hn now, monsoon rains heavy across northern areas but looking like they will catch up in the south. the nature of the monsoon rain is not one sheet during the seasonit rain is not one sheet during the season it fluctuates in different areas. bc had the rain across the north by two and a week, it's the southwest corner that has torrential downpour. all the way into parts of sri lanka, 400 or 500 downpour. all the way into parts of sri lanka, 400 or500 mm downpour. all the way into parts of sri lanka, 400 or 500 mm of downpour. all the way into parts of sri lanka, 400 or500 mm of rain downpour. all the way into parts of sri lanka, 400 or 500 mm of rain and the worst affected areas likely to lead to significant flooding. you can see on the chart here, how areas would be extremely wet for the next few days, that goes all the way to colombo and then further north, plenty of dry spells with the

sunshine and when it comes out it'll be hot. not far off 40 celsius once again. crossing into europe and being that note on a side note, much of the consonant losing storms, low— pressure of the consonant losing storms, low—pressure taking over across the united kingdom and i are related to end the week. friday, significant speu end the week. friday, significant spell of good weather which is good for gardeners, could be quite happy and fun terry, as it clears into the weekend, we run into sunshine and showers, some could be quite happy. looks like i'm unsettled the next two weeks, friday is wet weather and saturday showers, but sunday and beyond, looks like high pressure sta rts beyond, looks like high pressure starts to build then over at the central portions of europe and that will drive up the warm air for central portions of europe and that will drive up the warm airfor a time towards our shores. looks like mostly england and wales tapping into the heat where further north, likely —— sorry conditions, temperatures reaching the low 30s

celsius across parts of england, the peak at the heat, stay tuned.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. british mps have backed a measure designed to prevent the next prime minister from suspending parliament in order force a no deal brexit. on the same day, the uk's tax and spending watchdog warns the government would need to borrow an extra thirty billion pounds a year if the uk left without a deal. at president trump's rally in north carolina last night, this was the chant aimed at the somali born us congresswoman ilhan omar. send her back! he stood back and let the chanting continue today he's trying to distance himself from it. i was not happy with that. i disagree with that.

and we'll take you to the island of komodo in indonesia where they're trying to save a lizard known as the komodo dragon. yesterday, we told you about puerto rico's governor ricardo rossello. he's facing calls to step down after leaked private messages between him and his closest advisers showed offensive and homophobic remarks. there have been big protests since the messages were published a week ago. the latest demonstration is due to get under way in the capital san juan. this was yesterday. almost 100,000 people turned out. at times it turned violent. there were chants of ‘we will kick you out‘ and ‘ricky resign'.

the group chat was published by the centre for investigativejournalism. there are nearly 900 messages in total between mr rossello and nine members of his administration. in one chat, mr rossello calls the former new york city council speaker melissa mark viverito, a horse. an official alsojoked about the growing pile of dead bodies after hurricane maria. another made vulgar remarks about puerto rican singer ricky martin. president trump tweeted about it today. the governor has so far refused to resign but he has apologised. today he issued this statement. it says:

david from cbs is in sanjuan. thank you very much for your time today. is there any evidence the governor is managing to find that reconciliation that he thinks is possible? he sent out a message this morning saying listen, i saw last night's protest and it did not go unnoticed by me and my family. look, clearly the guy has never had this much pressure put on him and his administration. this has been a weeks worth of protest, last night was upwards of 100,000 people, right now there's about 100 behind me and we are right in front of the mansion with 40 to 50 police officers, a few of them in riot gear, but this is very peaceful and listen, to tell the story accurately, you have to say that 98% of the protests when it happened, have all been peaceful.

there have been a handful of protesters which had a climactic moment towards the end of the night last night being one of them. they started throwing water bottles at police and an interesting moment where fireworks appeared to go off behind the police officers, so there was the police barricade and fireworks went off at the police we re fireworks went off at the police were standing in the police still have not said by fireworks went off from where they were. that is the current situation is they either go home and then come back the next day, day after day. are these people who have been disgruntled already? know, it is notjust about the messages. the messages were the final straw. this is decades with the mismanagement and being forgotten and mistreated by the government. puerto rico is known to have a corrupt government, notjust this government, but governments of

the past, including the father of the past, including the father of the current governor who had a lot of people in his administration go to federal prison. and then there was hurricane maria, we still do not know how many people died because the government did not do a very good job of even taking a proper death toll, they just good job of even taking a proper death toll, theyjust had a moment of silence for the unknown number of victims from hurricane maria and it was the chat and you hear what they said about melissa and the bodies that are accumulating at the morgue, people here are offended. my seven—year—old teacher —— 70—year—old teacher took a photo, by a three—year—old lady said that the vandalism in the graffiti that the protesters d id last vandalism in the graffiti that the protesters did last night, we don't really mind that as much as we mind the corruption and finally i will leave you with this, one woman said what those chat messages do is not only upset us, but it proves to us but we have always suspected that

our government is in fact, corrupt. will see if the governor manages to fend off that pressure at the moment, no doubt we will be turning to that next week an outside source. in new york, the us businessman jeffrey epstein has been denied bail. he's been charged with running a sex trafficking ring of underage girls. this indictment accuses epstein of enticing the girls some as young as fourteen to his homes in new york and florida between 1999 and 2007. and then paying them for sex. he's pleaded not guilty. he's already a registered sex offender because of a 2008 plea deal during a trial in which he was accused of abusing teenage girls. he served 13 months in prison. that was criticised as overly lenient and last week swipe that was criticised as overly lenient and last week, alex acosta was forced to resign as the trump administration's labour secretary after it emerged he approved that plea deal. this article from the wall streetjournal says

the bail decision means mr. epstein is likely to spend more time in jail awaiting trial in new york than he did in florida after that plea bargain. this is a lawyer who represents some of the alleged victims. lives with us from new york. i am guessing that he did everything he could to get bail in some form. yes. absolutely, his lawyers had argued that he should be held house arrest and be fitted with an electric monitoring bracelet. he even offered to pay himself for 24 hours of armed guards to guard his manhattan mansion to make sure he would not flee and he put up $100 million in collateral, including his manhattan mansion which is worth 77 million at his private jet. but mansion which is worth 77 million at his privatejet. but thejudge mansion which is worth 77 million at his private jet. but the judge was not having it, even that was inadequate and said that he was

still a flight risk and also a danger to the community. and while he goes back to jail, do we have any idea the period in time that will pass before he eventually goes on trial? we know that the next hearing is scheduled forjuly 31, but we actually do not even have a trial date set and this is a complicated case on very serious charges, sex trafficking of underage girls. we have already seen the prosecutors have already seen the prosecutors have turned up by way of evidence, they found in a safe in his mansion, diamonds, piles of cash, a foreign passport with a fake name and we know that we're going to be coming through all of this evidence to construct our case. we know more women have come forward to say that they too were sexually molested by jeffrey epstein when they girls and all of this factor is and certainly if jeffrey

all of this factor is and certainly ifjeffrey epstein all of this factor is and certainly if jeffrey epstein decides all of this factor is and certainly ifjeffrey epstein decides to take this to trial and i try to settle this, then that will require a lot of effort on his defence team to come up with a strategy. as we have seen come up with a strategy. as we have seenin come up with a strategy. as we have seen in new york with several of these high—profile cases, it can ta ke these high—profile cases, it can take several months before we even get a sense of when a trial date will be set. before i let you go, the actions and florida that led to a plea deal there, can they be factored in to the trial that is going to happen in new york? we heard an interesting debate about that already during the hearings, jeffrey epstein's attorney said that these are ancient allegations and that this case would essentially be ado that this case would essentially be a do over and argued that he really should not be charged under sex trafficking, they disputed that these crimes were sex trafficking but the prosecutors are very confident in their case and they said that these allegations can be tried and we will see what the judge

decides it will happen in a potential trial down the line. this is the latest red list it assesses the extinction status of a hundred thousand species. it says 28,000 species are threatened with extinction. and no under threat species has had its status improved. we're also told that rhino ray is now the most endangered marine animal in the world due to overfishing. a western roughly which lives in very deep seas. and this. a scaly footed snail. these snails only survive because of hydrothermal vents like this on the sea bed. so we shouldn't think that creatures that live over 1000m metres down avoid the consequences of human activity.

we've also learned that fungi is under pressure. here's victoria gill on why. what is particularly striking about this list update is that scientist, the network has delved into places that were understudied and overlooked in very difficult to reach. for example, there are 15 european fungi that are new to this list and they usually live in grasslands in europe. which are disappearing and scientists say that isa disappearing and scientists say that is a warning that the disappearance of other species of allowed these plants, depending on the fungi will also be affected. in an unexpected parts, serious threats and there's the scaly flitted snout that lives

in incredible depth down in the devotion that only lives on hydrothermal vents, these volca nically hydrothermal vents, these volcanically active vents that spew out this hot water and areas of tectonic activity and the reason that these are under threat is because the increasing explorations. that's the back in may this report warned that threats to nature will impact on human health and livelihoods. one of its authors described a "social and ecological emergency". injapan, for example, more than half of freshwater fish are at risk in mexico, over a third of freshwater fish are at risk. here's victoria again. if you think of how much human settle m e nts if you think of how much human settlements are centred on freshwater environments around the

la kes freshwater environments around the lakes and rivers, how much we depend on them for our water, for our food, for our livelihoods, then you can see that connection between the threat to nature and the threats to our health. threat to nature and the threats to our health. stay with us on outside source still to come. instagram's making a big change to the way we see likes. it says it's about remove pressure on users. the latest official figures show the proportion of crimes solved by police in england and wales has fallen to the lowest level recorded. the home office reported that fewer than 8% of offences resulted in a charge or court summons and recorded crimes involving sharp objects rose eight percent. lucy manning reports. get on the ground! get on the ground now! guns drawn, dramatic arrest by west midlands police. the man who had been spotted carrying a gun which was later found hidden behind the dustbin. get on the floor!

his friend was also chased down. have you got any weapons on you? a large knife found on him, they were jailed this week, but with knife and gun crime rising it's getting harder and harder to stop. dawn lewis knows the pain of knife crime. her husband giovanni was repeatedly stabbed and killed two years ago. this person that took my husband's life took mine with it. i will never get over his death ever. in the year up until march, more than 43,000 crimes involved a knife or a sharp object, that's up more than 3000, robbery was also up 11%, and the proportion of crimes the police are solving is down, now atjust 7.8 offences which end up with somebody being charged or summonsed. on an estate in sutton coldfield, cctv shows a hooded youth trying to break in. the residents have hired private security, feeling theyjust can't rely on the police. police resources are stretched.

trolling estates is a low priority. patrolling estates is a low priority. we need to put more money into policing. there is frustration here that so few crimes are being solved. we are investing more in the police this year than last year as a country, £1 billion more going into our police system, and we have made specific money available for serious violence. politicians are now promising there will be more police. our lead story. british mps have backed a measure designed to prevent the next prime minister from suspending parliament in order force a no—deal brexit.

a suspected arson attack injapan has killed 33 people and that number may rise. it's the nation's worst mass murder in nearly two decades. it happened at an animation production company in kyoto which was based in this building. we know the fire trapped people on the upper floors. and as you can see, there was a major operation to get the fire under control. this is police arresting the man they say was responsible. some witnesses say he doused the building with flammable liquid and shouted "drop dead." here's another account. translation: he seemed to be in pain, irritated and suffering, but also as if he was resentful. he said something like, you copied my work. japan's prime minister shinzo abe tweeted, in japanese we've

translated for you: "it's so dreadful that i'm lost for words... i pray for those who passed away." there's been reaction from around the world. and this is a voiceover artist who works on anime films. the bbc tokyo correspondent is rupert wingfield hayes. the more we learn about this attack, the more horrific the details become as the fire crews have gone to this chart and blackened building, they found more and more bodies, crowded on the stairs as people tried to escape onto the roof of the building as the fire tore through it and a very, very short amount of time. as to the allegation that this is a deliberate attack, the police say

they have a 41—year—old man in custody they say he went into the bottom of the building, the first floor with a can of petrol or gasoline and then spread it around the floor there and set fire to it and they claim eyewitnesses heard him shout die as he did so. a truly horrific scene there! this is the island of komodo in indonesia. the authorities are taking drastic action to try and protect the komodo dragon. it's the world's largest lizard and over 4000 live on the island. the authorities say humans are causing problems for them. we know 200,000 tourists visited last that's twice as many as five years ago. here's the governor of the region. now that the komodo dragons are not getting the protection and attention they deserve. now people are coming

into the island and paying next to nothing. we need to close the island for one year to return the habitat toa for one year to return the habitat to a healthy state for the dragons. he wants the park to be closed for all of 2020, and then only a small amount of visitors. local authorities are people living on the island to leave. this is the response to those who may have to move. we do not want to move, where will we go? we do not disturb the habitat. if we were hunting, the governor has the right to evict us. but we do not though and we can help protect the dragons. early in the programme that classifies the risk of extinction into a whole variety of extinction into a whole variety of species and if you dig down into the red list, you'll find the dragons listed as vulnerable and we should add that conservationists say

that it should add that conservationists say thatitis should add that conservationists say that it is protected and not an imminent risk. but in that clip, he is asking the question, me in the newsroom , is asking the question, me in the newsroom, i want to understand this better. what is it about human presence that is directly impacting on the dragons? a good question and iam not on the dragons? a good question and i am not sure we have a clear answer. but what we are seeing here is the battle for control over this island that is becoming increasingly wealthy in terms of the money that tourism attracts to this dramatic increase of tourists coming in and so increase of tourists coming in and so the governor of the region that we saw there is quite a character and he has a very clear vision for that island, he wants to go back to the day of the komodo dragon being the day of the komodo dragon being the dangerous beasts and only have a few people visit that island. he is concerned about the coaching of their prey, the dears and he also wa nts their prey, the dears and he also wants the islanders to move off the island so it is a protected area. he

wa nted island so it is a protected area. he wanted to become wild again. why is it, what is it like at the moment, how would i encounter them?m it, what is it like at the moment, how would i encounter them? it is quite wild at the moment, only a small proportion of the island is visited, that by our standards is incredibly wild and prehistoric and the villagers just live on one day on the island and interestingly, they themselves believed that they are physically and spiritually related to the dragons. so they have wonderful stories about a dragon princess. so they are fighting to stay on the island. it seems quite extreme to evict people who have lived there, what do the authorities tell you? i asked that and i challenged him, there is only 2000 people that have these connections to the dragons, and he said it is a lwa ys to the dragons, and he said it is always difficult to evict people but thatis always difficult to evict people but that is state land and we need to do this. and the president has offered his support for this quite controversial plan, saying we do not

wa nt to controversial plan, saying we do not want to miss out on this tourist dollar and we also want to conserve this area for future generations. but a real question about sustainable tourism and who should really benefit from it. keep us posted on that, thank you very much. we'll see if that is all brought in at the end of the year. let us finish the programme by talking about instagram. hiding the number of likes on post to try and remove pressure on users. this is only a trial that will happen in certain areas, the way it works is that users cannot see how much likes another person's post gets, be could see your own. instagram tells us we wa nt see your own. instagram tells us we want your friends to focus on the videos that you share, not how many likes they get. you might be aware, instagram gets criticised a lot for contributing to low self—esteem, feeling of inadequacies and in part of the importance of likes. instagram is owned by facebook and

like a lot of tech groups, is based in silicon valley. it is really a pa rt in silicon valley. it is really a part of a wider initiative on facebook and instagram to tackle some of the controversies and issues that have been coming up from users on the platforms and notjust research which is shown that instagram has been linked to particularly young people as feeling isolated, anxious or even depressed, but it is really part of a wider initiative to tackle both those feelings and young people and also combats in the issues of bullying for example on the platform. should we expect, not just for example on the platform. should we expect, notjust this but other measures on not just we expect, notjust this but other measures on notjust instagram but facebook too? this particular pilot started in canada and the company

said that its annual conference back in the spring that they were looking to extend to other territories and announced that they'll be doing so in six countries and i would imagine that it in six countries and i would imagine thatitis in six countries and i would imagine that it is very likely, given that the success of whether they will ever comment on the success of this type of eyelid, i think it is increasingly likely that will extend to other territories and that can be for the steps coming from facebook and instagram to help tackle some of the problems that are coming up on the problems that are coming up on the platform. does not sound like good influencers. . facebook has said that the changes will not impact business accounts. if you are an influencer with many hundreds of thousands or even millions of followers, you will still be very much able to track many metrics on your account and indeed other peoples in this change were only affects individual accounts although affects individual accounts although

a number of brand agencies have come out and criticise the step, single be harderfor people out and criticise the step, single be harder for people to out and criticise the step, single be harderfor people to build out and criticise the step, single be harder for people to build those followings. thank you for watching. goodbye. hello. july has been drier than average across the whole of the uk, particularly dry in the southeast replaces received as 2% of the expected monthly rainfall and part of this week. but over the next few days, completely unsettled theme continues. much—needed cherry rain into the day on friday, we have this area of low pressure moving into the southwest and so pretty heavy rain across parts of the southwest of england in the south wales in the morning. no threats eastwards across northern ireland and that affects the opening into parts of northern central and eastern england with a

few heavy breaths the odd rumble of thunder in the south side of that rainfall. the northern half stays drive through much of the day and then south—westerly breeze will notice all of those showers and temperatures on friday with a little bit cooler than recent days, so we're looking at highs of about 17 to 21 degrees. still some showers the course of the weekend, particularly on saturday with england and wales seen the bulk of those showers and thunderstorms in between. quieting down from the west as the pressure builds that it's largely dry for northern ireland and the west of scotland in temperature sta rts the west of scotland in temperature starts to creep up compared to friday. into the second half of the weekend, but be have is a ridge of high pressure taking hold for sunday in the next area of low pressure training moving to the northwest. so i think sunday is probably the better day of the week and for most of us with a lot of dry and sunny recently warm weather with a south—westerly breeze, later in the day will see if you showers pushing up day will see if you showers pushing up across day will see if you showers pushing up across parts of northern ireland into the card of scotland. lifting

those temperatures to 2324 degrees across england, wales and 20 or 21 in scotland and northern ireland. heading onto the week and monday, i north—south split, a few showers across scotland in particular, but for much of the uk is not a bad day, looking dry and sunny and you'll also notice the temperatures are starting to rise, so it will be heating up to the first part of the week, 2728 before we get to monday and the reason for all of this is because things are going particularly hot across central europe. in france, to us temperatures at about 14 degrees and then we'll be drawing in the southerly wind so that warm humid conditions piling up towards the uk throughout the course of monday and tuesday and wednesday —— 40. so this temperatures will be on the rise, on tuesday, a warm day across the uk and particularly the southeast enjoy notice some blue on the map, some

rain training moving from the west to the middle part of the week. through tuesday you can see the peak of those high temperatures of 32 degrees in london. let's look at the other side of the atlantic. crate a strong —— quite a strong core friend in the usa, looking at the jet stream, that cold front is going to put the pulse of rain across the jet strea m put the pulse of rain across the jet stream and will be driven by the court front of the other side of the atla ntic court front of the other side of the atlantic into next week and that is going to mean more showers with low pressure moving across the uk and it leads to the northern side of the jet stream, so to summarise, for the next ten days or so, next week it sta rts next ten days or so, next week it starts warm and settled in will see some showers and thunderstorms in the parts of the week and after that, it looks like it turns a little bit cooler and once again more unsettled. goodbye.

tonight at ten: mps have backed an attempt to stop any suspension of parliament to force through a no—deal brexit. the house approved an amendment that would block suspension the ayes to the right, 315, the noes to the left, 274. the house approved an amendment that would block suspension between october and december. some mps warn it would be a constitutional outrage. and among those conservatives who refused to back the government because of concerns about no deal was the chancellor, philip hammond. i greatly fear the impact on our economy and public finances of the kind of no—deal brexit that is realistically being discussed now. and this on the day the office of budget responsibility warned that
